The much-anticipated Basic Instincts has opened in Berlin to critical acclaim. Contemporary Dutch design in its own cultural context is more mature than ever before and looks set to play its role in a changing world. Also this week we take another look at work by Dutch graduates; we're off to the KABK in The Hague as well as London's RCA.
